Ireland’s Jewels Series #3 of 5

Water, weather lakes, creeks, rivers, or oceans always compels me to explore nearby. I think I hear a piano or harp melody every time I get close enough, ha! We came across an island tour when we stayed in Killarney Town. The motor boat tour took us to an uninhabited island on Loch Lein, Inisfallen. We had half and hour to explore it. Here’s what we found.

Many a ruin in Ireland to explore. Sometimes marked with a history, sometimes not.

We guessed this is the monks dormitory.

Path along the edge of Inisfallen
Springy moss covered earth and tree roots. My feet bounced as I hiked!

Oh, deer. The island wasn’t completely uninhabited, was it?

I hope you’ve enjoyed these photos of this serene piece of Ireland. I could’ve stayed all day to savor it, because I was a hiker for years and haven’t been physically able. God gave me this sweet gift for some writing inspiration. I wonder what story I could create with this? Any ideas?

I’m E.V. Sparrow

Coffee imbiber, chocolate connoisseur (sugar free please, so I don’t have to give it up), and the studier of personalities. My current book series of 3 is historical fiction inspired by my quirky great grandfather on my dad’s side of the family tree. On October 27, 2024, The BookFest Awards bestowed First Place in General Historical Fiction upon it! Stunningly unexpected.

Book 2 focuses on his sister’s life, and Book 3 reveals some of his son’s life.

According to many rumors, authors never stop learning. I’m studying and reading cozy mysteries for future projects. I’ve convinced myself I’ve adjusted to the black hole of writing and the author’s life. Why not add more challenges? What could happen?

Glad you’ve visited my site, and hope you’re intrigued enough for us to connect further on social media.
